This #VolunteersWeek we're celebrating the contributions of our extraordinary volunteers.
From helping at Waterston House to running local branches, recording birds and editing publications, volunteers underpin everything we do.
So a big ‘thank you’ to all our volunteers across the country!
To mark 90 years of SOC and raise funds for our charity, we've launched a new pin badge! The Peregrine was chosen in recognition of SOC’s role in the celebrated Glasgow Peregrine Project. Badges are £2 and available from SOC Headquarters, at Glasgow Peregrine Watches, or contact us to arrange p&p
This is a great opportunity to coordinate the Scottish Raptor Monitoring Scheme and work with scheme partners including SOC.
We have an Optics Loan Scheme!
Open to members & non-members, the scheme offers the chance to borrow optical & acoustic monitoring kit from HQ: www.the-soc.org.uk/pages/gettin....
Why not try out binoculars, telescopes, a tripod or even an AudioMoth for your next birding trip?
